light FORD F-150 2019 Owner's Guide

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle
should stay in the normal operating range
(between L and H). If the needle falls
below the normal range, stop your vehicle,
turn off the engine and check the engine
oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
correct, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the cooling
system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the
cooling system to cool down. Cover the
coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth
to prevent the possibility of scalding and
slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and
let the engine cool.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of your
vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a slope. Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches
75 mi (120 km) to empty for
MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
Transmission Fluid Temperature
Gauge
(If Equipped)
Indicates transmission fluid temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds
the normal range, stop your vehicle as soon
as safely possible and verify the airflow is
not restricted (snow or debris blocking
airflow through the grille).
Also, higher than normal operating
temperature can be caused by special
operation conditions (snowplowing, towing
or off-road use). Refer to Special operating
conditions in the scheduled maintenance
information for instructions.
Operating the transmission for extended
periods with the gauge in the higher than
normal area may cause internal
transmission damage. You need to alter
the severity of your driving conditions to
lower the transmission temperature into
the normal range. If the gauge continues
to show high temperatures, see an
authorized dealer.
Turbo Boost Gauge
(If Equipped)
Indicates the amount of manifold air
pressure in the engine.

Tow Haul Indicator (If Equipped)
It illuminates when you switch
the system on.
Wait To Start
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you switch the
ignition on as part of the
pre-start system. Wait until the
wait to start indicator turns off before
attempting to start vehicle. See
Starting
a Diesel Engine (page 179).
Water In Fuel
(If Equipped) WARNING:
Do not drain the
water-in-fuel separator while the engine
is running. Failure to follow this warning
may result in fire, serious injury, death or
property damage. During refueling, it is possible for
you to pump
water-contaminated diesel fuel
into your fuel tank. Your vehicle ’s fuel
system is equipped with a fuel filter and
water separator to remove water from the
fuel. The water in fuel indicator lights when
the fuel and water separator has a
significant quantity of water in it and
requires immediate draining.
If the water in fuel indicator illuminates
when the engine is running, stop your
vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off
the engine, then drain the fuel and water
separator. See
Fuel Quality (page 188).
Allowing water to stay in the fuel system,
after the water in fuel indicator illuminates,
could result in extensive damage or failure
of the fuel injection system.
Note: Do not drain the fuel and water
separator while the engine is running. Air will
enter into the fuel system causing the engine
not to operate properly. AUDIBLE WARNINGS AND
